Smart Dollar Cost Averaging Dashboard

This closed-source TradingView indicator implements a comprehensive Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) savings plan simulation designed to automate systematic investments. The script allows users to set a fixed investment amount and choose a customizable interval—weekly, monthly, or quarterly—at which purchases are simulated against historical or live price data. The core functionality calculates the average buy-in price dynamically by tracking cumulative invested capital and total acquired shares, providing a true average cost basis rather than simple price signals. This average price is visualized as a persistent, non-draggable horizontal line on the chart, enabling traders to intuitively compare the market price to their average entry point. A movable and toggleable dashboard accompanies the indicator, delivering real-time metrics including total investment, number of purchases, portfolio value, profit/loss both in absolute and percentage terms, and the price gap relative to the computed average buy-in. This transparency helps users understand their position’s health and supports disciplined long-term investment strategies. This script stands unique by combining flexible periodic investment scheduling with real capital calculations and detailed, easy-to-read visual feedback that is rarely bundled so intuitively in similar scripts. Unlike many open-source trend-following or scalping tools, this indicator focuses on systematic investment and passive portfolio growth, ideal for investors pursuing dollar cost averaging. Unlike standard buy/sell signal creators or simplistic moving average crossovers, this script models actual cash flow deployment and quantifies performance in real-time with a clean, professional UI. Its originality lies in marrying realistic capital flow simulation with intuitive visualization and multi-interval flexibility.

How It Works:

• Tracks virtual investments of fixed cash amounts at user-defined intervals

• Converts invested amounts into shares based on closing prices, accumulating holding size

• Recalculates weighted average purchase price after each simulated buy

• Continuously displays the average buy-in as a stable graphic element on any price chart

• Offers detailed investment metrics through an interactive dashboard overlay

• Supports weekly, monthly, and quarterly investment cadences with user-selectable investment days

• Use Cases:
  • Ideal for investors employing systematic savings plans to build long-term positions
  • Fits cryptocurrency, stock, ETF, and index investments on TradingView
  • Supports financial education by illustrating dollar cost averaging principles visually
  • Facilitates performance tracking for passive investors who prioritize consistent buying over timing
  The script is an advanced tool meeting a distinct trading niche: systematic, cash-based, passive investment modeling with transparency and user control. This originality and usefulness justify the closed-source mode to protect intellectual property.
